Paxton with an 8 inning shutout, Diaz strikes out the side in the 9th, 7 wins in a row!

And a half game back of the Astros. If we can get anywhere near even against them head-to-head down the stretch, we'll have a real division race on our hands.

Not to mention, a Yankees loss tonight means Seattle is just one game back of the first Wild Card spot. I just want to see playoff baseball in Seattle, dammit!

\/\/\/\/yep.

Might check them out on the 4th for the free hat.

I can’t afford to buy channels, and can only read about them, so are the fans turning out for games again? Best part of live games is crowd energy, last several games I’ve been to have been pretty much dead.

Today it was pretty packed at Safeco. There was one section in RF they closed off but every other part of the stadium was full of fans today.

It felt like a little bit more for a random Sunday game, but not a ton. It was also a bobblehead day which always spikes attendance.

Also Mike Zunino seems very nice, but he is an extremely bad hitter. I don't know how he manages to look like he's figured it out every year then crash hard. I wonder if the Mariners should be looking for a catching upgrade at the deadline.

Also regarding Zunino, doesn’t he make up for his inconsistent hitting by being way efficient at picking off base runners?

He’s capable of throwing runners out, and has 12 home runs, but really needs to get his average above .200, or at least stop hitting in double plays with runners in scoring position. Andrew Romine figured it out and boosted his average up, so should Zunino.

In the first Healy struck out, ball got away from the catcher, he made it to first and Cruz scored from 3rd.

Good times. Plus a solid 7 innings from LeBlanc, earning his new contract.

The Onion has parody editorial cartoons by Ward Sutton under the pseudonym Kelly. The guy in the smilie is one of his over-labeled enemies of real America and is frequently drawn to represent the left wing and often labeled Sicko.

So the M's won last night. By more than one run even. Sky status : not falling again.


Was reading the LL article about Dee's catch last night and ended up in the Youtube rabbit hole. So here's a reminder that Mike Cameron did this in his 4th game as a Mariner.

Not thrilled three Mariners got hit this game, although none seemed serious. Also Marco Gonzales owns.

If they had Diaz batting then all four 2018 All-Star Mariners could have gotten hit-by-pitch in that game.
